Daily Dose

From The Lost Domain (Le Grand Meaulnes), by Alain-Fournier, translated by Frank Davison

PREFERS

"For a man who prefers not to be happy, there is the attic where he can listen till nightfall to the creaking and groaning of shipwrecks, or the open road where the wind will blow his scarf against his mouth like a sudden kiss that brings tears to the eyes,"

From Chapter 7, The Wedding Day
